Funkcionári rozhodujú o všetkom. Koho budete milovať. Kde budete pracovať. Kedy zomriete. V dokonalom svete je všetko dokonalé. Dokonalí ľudia žijú dokonale naplánovaný život a zomierajú v dokonale pripravenom čase. Dokonalý systém im na želanie pridelí dokonalého partnera a narodia sa dokonalé deti. Čo sa však stane, ak sa niekto proti toľkej dokonalosti postaví? Čo ak niekto objaví cit, ktorý možno nie je dokonalý, ale zato úprimný? Ako ho uchráni pred funkcionármi „dokonalej“ spoločnosti? Cassia verila, že rozhodnutia funkcionárov sú vždy správne. Veď podriadiť sa im je len minimálna cena za dlhý život, ideálnu prácu a dokonalého životného partnera. Preto keď sa na displeji ako Cassiin nový partner objaví jej najlepší kamarát, nepochybuje, že je to ten pravý... až kým sa na tom istom displeji tesne pred vypnutím nemihne aj úplne iná tvár. Odrazu musí riešiť čosi nepredstaviteľné – vybrať si medzi Xanderom a Kyom, medzi jediným životom, aký kedy poznala, a cestou, po ktorej sa doteraz nikto nevydal. Musí sa rozhodnúť medzi dokonalosťou a láskou. Dokonalý pár je príbeh z budúcnosti postavený na literárnych kvalitách starej dobrej minulosti. Je to prvá časť trilógie, pokračovanie s názvom Crossed vyjde v Ikare v druhej polovici roka 2012. V USA sa bleskovo zaradil medzi bestsellery a pripravuje sa aj filmové spracovanie.

Middle-schoolers Nico, Tyler, Ella, and Opal discover a hidden island in a forbidden cove that appears uninhabited, but something ancient has awakened knowing their wishes, dreams, and darkest secrets

Cassia’s journey began with an error, a momentary glitch in the otherwise perfect façade of the Society. After crossing canyons to break free, she waits, silk and paper smuggled against her skin, ready for the final chapter. The wait is over. One young woman has raged against those who threaten to keep away what matters most—family, love, choice. Her quiet revolution is about to explode into full-scale rebellion. With exquisite prose, the emotionally gripping conclusion to the international–bestselling Matched trilogy returns Cassia, Ky, and Xander to the Society to save the one thing they have been denied for so long, the power to choose.

The hotly awaited second book in the dystopian Matched trilogy In search of a future that may not exist and faced with the decision of who to share it with, Cassia journeys to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky - taken by the Society to his certain death - only to find that he has escaped, leaving a series of clues in his wake. Cassia's quest leads her to question much of what she holds dear, even as she finds glimmers of a different life across the border. But as Cassia nears resolve and certainty about her future with Ky, an invitation for rebellion, an unexpected betrayal, and a surprise visit from Xander - who may hold the key to the uprising and, still, to Cassia's heart - change the game once again. Nothing is as expected on the edge of Society, where crosses and double crosses make the path more twisted than ever.
